Server: Suggestion: Add option to use sequence of english words for generated passwords.

Created on 8 Oct 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: bitwarden/server

First of all, thanks for developing bitwarden!

Suggestion: Following the logic of https://xkcd.com/936/ , it would be great to be able to generate passwords that are a concatenation of real words from a (large) dictionary.

Obviously, with a password manager, it is not necessary to remember passwords. But it is sometimes necessary to copy a password manually, which would be much easier with real words than random letters. Also, it is easier to type real words on a phone keyboard than sequences with special characters.

Also take a look at Enpass' pronounceable passwords generator, which lets you choose separator, add uppercase and digits:

There are also passphrase generators for KeePass.

This has been on our backlog for some time now.

There is a program called xkcdpass which does exactly that.

Could xkcdpass be used with bitwarden? It seems already have some language support...

And also, please enable usage of this feature already when creating account / changing master password.

We could also consider MasterPassX (demo | source). Given an input, it will produce a pass phrase amongst other things like PINs, passwords, and pronounceable gibberish word.
